Sheringham future in doubt

Teddy Sheringham’s future was still surrounded in mystery today after his agent refused to confirm he was joining Portsmouth.

Division One champions Pompey released a statement yesterday claiming they had agreed terms with former England striker Sheringham, who has been released by Tottenham, and that he would be signing a contract next week.

However, Barry Nevill, who represents Sheringham, refused to confirm his player was joining the Premiership new boys.

He told PA Sport: “I am not in a position to comment on what Teddy is doing, but all will be revealed shortly.”

That would suggest the door is still open for 37-year-old Sheringham to join another club when he returns from holiday next week.

Sheringham is wanted by Pompey boss Harry Redknapp after having just completed his second spell at White Hart Lane.
